Edward L. Ayers

Sarah Brown, Senior Editor at The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Edward L. Ayers, Historian and former president of the University of Richmond, dive into the last 25 years of higher education. They explore rising tuition costs, the increasing reliance on adjunct faculty, and the impact of DEI initiatives on faculty diversity. Ayers emphasizes the importance of viewing historical trends versus short events, while both guests reflect on the implications of political pressures and technological changes shaping today's campus landscapes.
